Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) offers several "portable" and often overlooked benefits that allow recipients to maintain support even when their financial or living situations change. Key benefits include the Extended Health Benefit

Why this is a hidden portable benefit:

Unlike subsidized housing (RGI) which locks you into a specific building, the Board and Lodging rate is attached to you, not the address. If you need to move to a different caregiver's home (e.g., moving from a parent’s house to a sibling’s house across the city), the benefit follows you immediately without a 3-year waiting list. hidden benefits from odsp portable

However, the hidden benefit involves spousal income. If you receive a non-portable support that includes a "stipend" or "bonus" paid directly to you, ODSP might deduct that from your spouse's allowable earnings exemption. However, the hidden benefit involves spousal income
